How﻿ ma﻿ny﻿﻿ of their players would we take off them this summer though if we had the chance? Maybe the centre-back Halkett, who was excellent at Dens recently, and Lawless, who we should really have tried to get from Partick ourselves, but that's﻿ p﻿robably it.﻿﻿﻿

Would hope we’d be looking at Halkett. Still only 24. He’ll have plenty of options this summer I’d imagine

Decent signing if fit. Again if fit then better than Kasunga and Innis. Only issue is we have a real lack of pace with the four central defenders we’ve got now. Having said that they all decent in the tackle and in the air.

With Livi the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Most of their players would not improve us. Last season Livi finished 12 points behind champions St Mirren and a point ahead of a rotten United side. I doubt they would have reached the play-offs if it wasn't for Rangers giving them Hardie in January.

What's really working for them this season is not the quality of the individuals. It's the stability and familiarity that comes with playing the same players season after season.

Livi were second best at Dens recently and probably didn't deserve to get anything from the game but they give nothing away at the back. You take Halkett out of their team and I think we would have won that game by a couple of goals.

Livi are a team that has a game plan and plays to its strengths and it's been effective for them. They are a team basically and a decent one at picking up points at that.

Think the big diver Menga looked a right handful at the away game through there. Him aside, agree with Cobra.

As bad as we've been, a lot of its been due to the gigantic instability we've had in players, line ups, formations, management, tactics and so on. It's been absolute chaos for 3 seasons as we constantly react to bad results with changes.

We've basically had about 6 teams worth of players and 3 managers in 3 seasons with every formation and style of play under the sun. It's been a shambles in hindsight. A costly shambles.

They have exceeded expectations certainly - however second half of the season I reckon they will not pick up as many points. Other astute managers will suss them out and find a way to beat them
